“””I am curious as to why Texas didn’t bring this suit sooner, like before the election. And what the court will have to say about it.”””
How do you bring a lawsuit claiming injury before you are injured?
There doesn’t need to be an injured party if the argument is that the action violated express terms of the constitution. Illegal changes to the rules could’ve hurt any candidate in any party by any scale. The outcome was irrelevant. There’s a rule, here’s it broken. End of argument.
The minute you claim targeted victimhood you invoke habeas corpus, and have to prove the injury. No proof of injury + no conclusive proof of illegality = uphill battle to get the case heard.
This is why so many cases flopped. Too much of it based on ANGRY out-of-state subjective was.
It read to me alright but I can see how a court that’s on the Biden side would be able to wilfully dismiss it as “I’m petitioning on behalf of my old gran in Wisconsin who reckons her vote for Donald was robbed because someone from QAnon in Utah did a YouTube on an intervention by a dead dude in Venezuela and I’m FURIOUS ON HER BEHALF, signed Lawyer From Sacramento” nonsense.
I’ll be controversial and say that I fear Trump has undermined the Texas case by injecting his own personal butt-hurt into a case that was benefiting enormously by not being in any way linked to butt-hurt.
But we’ll see.
